A Post Valentine's Update

Feb Goals Update

February has been good to me. I've submitted myself for at least 10 student films! Again no call to audition but just the process of reading through the roles has been exhilarating and educational. Truth be told I am going to be extremely nervous when one of these submissions leads to an actual audition, one step at a time I keep telling myself. There is still time to hit my February Goal of 5 auditions but they'd have to happen quick!

Declutter, declutter. I'm reading the most amazing organizational book called "Organizing from the Inside Out" by Julie Morgenstern. She focuses on the technical errors of clutter as well as the emotional in hopes to ensure that once organized clutter doesn't resurface. She wants to help solve the cause of the clutter problem not just the symptoms which I thoroughly appreciate since I've always had a pile of papers to go through since I was a kid. I've done several of her tasks and am almost ready to "Attack".

Obtaining a commercial agent has proved to be quite impossible. But that is only due to the fact that I haven't tried to get one :( More to come on this front, stay tuned.

This is all for now! Love, K

February

My intentions this month of February:

1. Go on 5 Auditions
2. De-Clutter/Organize my kitchen area
3. Continue to pursue a commercial agent

My aversion to blogging lately is not a proper reflection of what is going on in my acting career. Here's what's up:

1. Secured a 1st Assistant Director Intern Position in my film class.
2. Created a One Sheet- a marketing tool that highlights my current acting accomplishments. It is set-up like a magazine ad layout, cute, fun, and easy to read.
3. Made my first acting submission :) It was for a one-week film competition. I didn't get called to audition but the most important thing is that I've finally put myself out there. Yay!
4. Filmed a short scene with my friend. Her boyfriend wrote, directed, and filmed the scene.
5. Contacted Meryl Streep's publicist's assistant again to see if she would still like to teleconference. Still waiting for a reply.
6. Walked into the commercial casting office again to see if any auditions were for me. They were all SAG (Union), so I was unable to ask to audition.
7. Signed up for Actors Access, an online audition craigslist.

There is it folks :) I'm quite proud of myself. Thanks for all your support and love.
